They intend to use Ebola virus as a biological weapon if their demands are not met.

Sources say the unidentified individuals
are demanding that the money should be paid in 3 installments – The
first on November 3rd, the second on November 5th, and the third, after
they have given up the infected material.

The threats were made via anonymous emails sent to the Czech government’s cabinet offices.

Police authorities reportedly stated
that they are not taking the threats seriously, as “the only intention
of the blackmailers is to cause a panic.”

According to reports, there are fears
that the bitcoin, which is an electronic currency, enables blackmailers
and terrorists receive money anywhere in the world instantly and
virtually anonymously. Also, once a bitcoin is transferred, it can’t be
reversed or frozen.
